After being bombarded with engine sludge commercials for two years I received word today from my mechanic that my car has sludge. It's funny that a series of commercials that have driven me nuts now have a new meaning.

Oh man! I'm sorry for your engine woes, but your post really made me laugh. Trust me, I needed a good laugh here at work today. And I know I shouldn't laugh, because if nothing else was pounded into my head by that annoying commercial, the "it's only funny when it happens to someone else" line sticks in my mind.

Again, sorry for your car problems, Brian, but I appreciate you making me chuckle.
